If you think that only #BGP can announce a route on the Internet, see these interesting measurements: https://labs.ripe.net/author/mw/how-igp-leaks-put-ixp-route-servers-in-the-ddos-shooting-range/

" #BGP’s often politically and commercially motivated policies" Nice understatement 😄

A new BSDCan video has been posted:
Running a root DNS server on FreeBSD -- from Alpha to Now by Daniel Mahoney

https://youtu.be/vCiCvQsxucc

ISC has been proudly using FreeBSD in production for a long time, including to serve critical internet infrastructure with a global user base (including you!), from the DEC Alpha days up till now, mostly on bare-metal.

In this talk I'll go over some of how we (and I) got here, how we've managed far-away installs and upgrades without remote hands during a global pandemic, and how we believe that in a Linux-centric world, BSD gives us an advantage, not only in diversity, but from the community, and touch on how a single FreeBSD box has replaced an install that used to consist of separate routers and switches.

We'll cover some of our MacGyver moments, share some head-scratchers, and even cover some of the things we'd love to see in the future, both from the community as well as where we're hoping to go.

If the conference leaders think it wise, this talk could also include a light touch on how BGP and Anycast work, both in general, as well as how the global routing table is affected by the less-and-more specific routes to F that we announce to keep local traffic local, and how ISC works with its CDN partner. (These are not BSD-specific topics, but the maturity of reasonable routing daemons in ports have meant that we can now do this without needing an upstream router).

"Expanding AuthDNS - Impact of Adding a New Node in the Philippines"

Executive summary: the Internet is a mess and routing is complicated "Nevertheless, on 1 July, the nodes in Tokyo, Amsterdam, London, and Paris together still answered 47% of all Philippine queries. "

Hello to our friends in Singapore 🇸🇬!

We’re happy to announce that we just opened up a new POP in Sin1, SG to come even closer to you! What does it mean?! IP-Space in Singapore including GEO objects & lower latencies in your area 🥳

Thanks to Route64 and @gyptazy !

Just next to our core OS like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, #MidnightBSD and #DragonflyBSD (and #illumos). This should also make the step easier to compare and test different scenarios where BSD provides a different behavior compared to Linux systems.

Thanks to @gyptazy for the implementation!
